OK, I'm not sure if the PPK is dweeby enough for this thread to succeed. And if it isn't, that's fine. I'll respect you all more for it! I just love to dork out on history, so I thought I'd give this a shot.

The only difference is that here we'll be posting pictures of historical figures who we'll be identify. I suggest providing text hints with your stills, because this may be tough.

I'll start.

Malcolm X said that if white people were for Black liberation they had to be willing to do as this American revolutionary did. The man is buried in my hometown (not Boston). And he has an amazing beard, as you can see.

Can you guess who it is? If you can, do so and post up your own photo of another mystery historical figure.
